Your mission
We're looking for a Business / System Analyst to work on the core of our payment platform: accounts and balances, transfers, FX, integrations with payment providers, and reconciliation. You'll turn business needs into clear requirements our developers can build from, and stay involved through to release by answering the team's questions, checking the result and keeping documentation up to date. Our Product team sets the priorities and roadmap, your focus is making sure every requirement is complete, clear and correct. Your Tech Environment
What You’ll Do
- Gather and analyse business requirements across our payment products - accounts, transfers, FX and customer onboarding
- Write clear functional and non-functional requirements, user stories with acceptance criteria, and end-to-end scenarios including edge cases
- Design data models, status flows and process diagrams (BPMN, sequence diagrams)
- Specify APIs and integrations with external payment providers and partner banks, and act as a technical point of contact for them
- Define reconciliation and reporting requirements together with Finance and Compliance
- Support Engineering and QA from specification through to release, including acceptance testing
- Help investigate production issues and keep product documentation up to date
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years as a business or systems analyst in payments, fintech, an EMI, a bank or a payment provider
- Good understanding of how payments work end to end — from initiation to settlement, including rejections, refunds and reconciliation
- Experience integrating with external payment providers or partner banks, including handling errors and failures
- Familiarity with e-money and payments standards and regulation (EMI, safeguarding, ISO 20022, SEPA, SWIFT, PSD2, PCI DSS)
- Strong skills in writing requirements and user stories, and in modelling data and processes (BPMN, sequence diagrams)
- Experience designing APIs and integration contracts (e.g. OpenAPI)
- SQL skills to check and validate data on your own
- Structured thinking - you ask the right questions rather than filling gaps with assumptions
- Strong written English
Nice to Have
- Experience with KYC/KYB, sanctions and PEP screening or transaction monitoring - ideally with a KYC provider such as Sumsub
- Experience with a BaaS provider or direct involvement in a partner-bank integration
- Exposure to local and international payment schemes in any region
- Experience in a small team without dedicated technical writers or QA analysts
What You’ll Get
- Competitive, market-aligned compensation
- Opportunity to work on a high-impact product with real-world scale
- Modern tech environment and engineering-driven culture
- International, distributed team with a collaborative mindset
- Remote-friendly setup with flexible working hours
- Supportive team culture focused on knowledge sharing and ownership
